NEW VERSION THAT REMOVES HANGING LINES FROM TOC!!!!! ---- I want to thank Anais9000 for pointing out how to do this. Thank you. (I don't understand HTML code, but I somehow managed to do this!)

I also corrected the title of the book on the Title Page to read this way: Moby Dick; or, The Whale

Please download this version if you have already downloaded v1.0. --- If you have that, you have an old version.

Earlier version has been deleted.

I've never had so much difficulty putting a book together as this one. I've been so frustrated with this. I tried everything I could think of to do away with the problems, but I was able to work around them. I beleive all the problems are now gone: I checked on all links and they work; they also bring one back to the correct TOC page. As another example of frustration, some Chapters designated as TITLEdid not create a page break, but always looked fine before compiling. After compiling, some TITLES looked like left-centered PARAGRAPHS. Again, I "fixed" all that didn't look right by working around the problems and solving them.

So many times I was ready to give up on this and just buy the damn thing from Connect (if it's available; I haven't even checked).

One last little story: I was almost finished and I accidentally clicked on the MOST DREADED IMPLEMENTATION IN BOOKDESIGNER: THE INFAMOUS OPEN EMPTY FILE RIGHT NEXT TO SAVE CURRENT FILE.

I LOST EVERYTHING! (Fortunately, I had saved about 1 hour previous to that mishap, so I lost an hour's work and started all over again.)

I want to thank Roy White for his efforts in first bringing Moby Dick to us here. (His version is also available and you may wish to download his version.)

This is one of my personal favorites and I just had to create Moby Dick with fully functional and working links - links that work both front and back, if you understand what I mean.

I hope you like it. If you don't............

I noticed in your version that when you click on one of the chapter links it takes you to the right chapter but when you turn the page the chapter title on the next page says, (At the bottom of the reader) "Chapter 124 instead of the real name of that chapter which is "The Needle"... I like to see the real name of the chapter on the bottom of each page I'm on while I'm reading... I gather that you link to the chapter number ie. 124, then put the real chapter name 'The Needle' As a subtitle? Sometimes I like put on my formats a link to the chapter title 124 and add the chapter name as well to the chapter title so it says on the bottom of the screen.. "Chapter 124: The Needle" at the bottom of the page.

You've inspired me to go back and re-open my last file of Moby and type out all those 135 chapter titles and link em!!!

Next time, try this. Once you've loaded the TOC into the HTML editor, uncheck the box labelled "show tree". Then click the button marked find and put this in the find box:
<DIV align=justify><A
and this into the replace box:
<DIV align=left>&nbsp;<A

Then click the Replace All button. Click the Apply button. Done.

Actually, it was 137 times! (The Prologue and the Epilogue.)

Two questions:

1.) How do I underline every word in the TOC, rather than just the first word?
2.) How do I (or can I) use something other than an underline? (In other words, no line is visible at all.)

1. You can do this by replacing the spaces in the chapter titles with &nbsp;
But be aware that if you do this, long titles will wrap in the middle of a word, especially in the larger font sizes. Better to replace only the space between "Chapter" and N, for example Chapter&nbsp;One: It Begins!
